Show VOLUME 22 : Ml IBasm racois DUCHESNE . NUMBER 34 DUCHESNE COUNTY. UTAH. THURSDAY. 13 ... . You have a chance tomorrow, Friday, MR. FARMER: March 13, to elect three men to serve the next three years as supervisors for the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation District. . . They will be your servants, and as such you should consider seriously the obligation you have to yourself and your neighbors. With the help of the Soil Conservation Service office, we have carefully set forth in detail the reasons why it is your privilege and duty to carefully judge the qualifications of the men who have been nominated for these positions. . . You have your ballot Study It, Then Mark It and Return It In The Postage Paid Envelope! In my opinion the mpn you elect to these jobs should be men of honesty. They must be interested in the progress of the Uintah Basin; they must have the courage of their convictions, and they must recognize the conservation needs as they relate to your farm and the Basin. These men will work for you for at least three years without pay. The decisions they make will effect you and your farm, both directly and indirectly.' The work schedules they prepare for your engineers, soils men, or farm planners will often determine whether you get help on your conservation job this spring, this summer, or next year. ' Your Soil Conservation District Supervisors are goir, to help you get your soil and water conservation job done in the American way neighbors working together to make a better, more prosperous agriculture for us and for our children than when we took over the farms from our dads. Too many of us think the help we receive from the soils man, the engineer, or the farm planner is help from the Soil Conservation Service. This is not true. The help you get from these Federal employees comes directly from your Soil Conservation District, in the kind and amount established by your board of supervisors. Your supervisors have taken advantage of all the help they can get from the County Agent, the Forest Service, Agricultural Conservation Program, Indian Service, Soil Conservation Service, Farmers Home Administration, the County School Districts, and all other sources, so they can give you the help you need when you need It. It is the objective of the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation District to use each acre of agricultural land within its capability and treat each acre of agricultural land according to its need for protection and improvement. ' To best accomplish this objective, the District has said that it will enter into an agreement with the farmer or irrigation company before the District will make its services available to the farmers. This agreement between the farmer and the District will be made in three steps: 1. The farmer and the District will sign an agreement which will make the help of the Soil Conservation Service technicians available to- - help the farmer carry out one of more conservation practices which are needed on the farm, and are economically sound. - 2. Soon after a Land Capability Survey is made, a copy of this map together with written descriptions of the soil classes found on the farm, will be given to the farmer,-alonwith deceptions of proved methods for using each soil condition. 3. After the farmer has studied this material, he and a District technician will prepare- - a farm plan to include the conservation practices needed on the farm. In some cases the farmer will know the order in which he wishes to do each practice. If he does, this is included in the farm plan. Have you worked out your farm plan? Do you know the direction your farm is going? Your farm must become a better farm or it will become a ruined farm. Like you and me, it doesnt stay in one condition forever. How much easier and how much more profitable is your farm today than it was back in 1941 when you elected your first supervisors? Would you like' to suddenly find your farm in the same condition it was in in 1941 without those ditches or headgates or without that on the south forty? I leveling believe not. You can learn a lot about romance at the movies you dont let the picture distract you.
